So i got myself a wattmeter and plugged my PC into it. I currently have this setup

GPU1: MSI 770 gaming edition
GPU2: MSI 770 gaming edition
CPU: AMD 8350 (4.5 GHz stock voltage)
CPU køler: Coolermaster v8 GTS
RAM: 2x4 HyperX furry 1666 MHz
MOBO: Asus crosshair v formula (not Z)
PSU: Coolermaster 700G watt bronze 80+
HDD1: 1 TB
HDD2: 500 GB
HDD3: 670 GB
HDD4: 300 GB
SSD: 64 GB
Intake fans: 5x 120 mm
Exhaust fans: 1x 140 mm
Case: NZXT h440 red/black
SLI Bridge: the one that came with my motherboard

When i bench it (The Valley - extreame HD) it says my PC draws 1340 watt... How can it do that when its a 700 watt? (I know 700 watt is barely cutting it - thats why i want to messure it ^^). Hope you can give me a hint :D!

Hmm, that is strange.

GTX 770 ~230W
8350 at stock should be around 125W.

eXtreme power supply calculator says 668 minimum 718 expected load. So you are pushing it. Shouldn't be pulling more then about 900W from the wall with an 80+ Bronze supply.

Might have a faulty wattmeter.
